Joy loves me again: I had 36 Favor, and after winning Poker with her without the cheats being on, I had 156.
I will put it to good use.
Anyone else getting this love from Joy?

Most likely. I do it with a lot of saving, which is basically cheating as well. The only thing that is certain for those two is if they are raising like hell, they actually have a good hand. But thats about it, really hard to beat normally.
@Topic:
I have a question - playing this game currently, I like it a lot! But I dont know how I can talk to Aly about the swimsuit-photo, she always tells me that this is not the right time or place, even if we are completely alone.
This is from the Companion Guide: HOW DO I GET ALY TO SEND ME HER TEEN PICS? This one is a bit involved with a number of steps and elements. If you do not have the habit of saving you game often, then quit now and delete everything, because you’ll never complete all achievements. Okay, when Aly is at the pool in her bikini or skimpy bikini, sit with her on the sun lounger and ask her to pose for you. When you stare at her chest, she will tell you about her boobs growing when she was a teen, and she will send you a pic. The quest button on your phone will keep track of what she wants next. Once you get her what she wants, sit with her on the sun lounger again and talk to her about the teen pics. She will ask you for a black rose. Go to Jennifer at the Nightbar, who will send you to reception where you can download an app to buy one for 100 company favor. After you buy it, give it to Aly as a gift before sitting with her on the sun lounger. Aly will ask you three gold trophies, either weekly or all-time. You need to get all three gold trophies for her in the same seven-day period. Easiest way to accomplish this is to think of the week starting on Monday. Start by hugging and kissing Aly every chance you get. When Wednesday rolls around, make Aly the winner of the Best Butt contest. If she isn’t one of the contestants, either rollback (PgUp) or reload an early save point. Continue to hug and kiss Aly every chance you get. On Saturday make Aly the winner of the Wet T-Shirt contest. Same trick as above if she isn’t a contestant. At the end of the week Aly will have her three gold trophies. Sit with her on the sun lounger again and talk to her about the teen pics. She'll check your phone to see how many trophies she has. She will not count gold trophies on the lower level gained before she asked you to get them. She will not count trophies unless they have been there for at least twelve hours. Once she tells you that you have the three trophies, she'll send you the topless pic. Once this is achieved, she will pose topless for you at the pool, provided that she is there alone with you. To get her alone, it may be necessary to have the other girls sent away by asking them to change their bikinis. She will pose topless for you in both her bikini and skimpy bikini. Get her to pose for you in both outfits; after all, you've earned it.

Thank you, but that is not the quest I was asking about. There is a quest where Aly shows a Swimsuit-Design from Jennifer and wants to show it to the MC. When talking to Jennifer, the latter one is upset about Aly showing the Design, so she wants you to talk with Aly about it.
However, everytime I want to talk about that with her, she just says it is not the right place or time and she does not want Jennifer to know about it.

Are you sure that you are alone? Maybe she's the only girl at the nightbar, but Jennifer's there behind the bar?
A sure way to get Aly alone is to make her the receptionist. She'll definitely be alone then. Then you can talk to her about the swimsuit photos.

Check the quest button on your phone and see if you achieved it but didn't notice.
Maybe you need to do the next step and talk to Jen at the bar.
Did you talk to Jennifer at the bar again?
What did she say?

She just asked if I already talked with Aly about her showing the picture. When I am home, I will check the guide, I probably missed something. And I will try to go to her room, maybe then there is an option to talk about it (last time I went to her room she came out of the shower, which means that some options are not available).
